Gallery Update
We had a really nice day on Monday at the exhibition which was held at the Cook & Barker, Newton On The Moor.  It was a 1 day only affair, lots of people turned up and I did just a quick demo because really it was more about the exhibition than demonstrating.  A good time was had by all and I sold quite a few paintings both from the normal gallery, the premier gallery (acrylics) and quite a few bits and pieces. Thank you very much to Phil Farmer for his very kind hospitality.
